The pair were forced off during the Reds' EFL Cup victory at Burton Albion on Tuesday night, and will be assessed before Saturday's visit to White Hart Lane.

Can has an ankle problem, while Origi has been suffering with muscle cramps.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, manager Jurgen Klopp said: “We need to wait a little bit. With Emre there is nothing really serious in the ankle, but it is his ankle where he had a few problems in the past.

“It should not be long, but maybe not for the Tottenham game.

“It’s the same with Divock, it’s not serious. There are different levels of cramp.”

Being without either would be a blow to Klopp's plans. Can impressed on his first start of the campaign at Burton, while Origi grabbed the Reds' opening goal in the 5-0 win. Klopp spoke earlier this week of the young Belgian striker needing “rhythm” if he is to build on a hugely promising debut season on Merseyside.

Klopp also discussed his team selection at Burton, which was pretty much full strength.

“It’s not about rest,” he said. “These boys recover in hours. If you have 50 games in your legs it’s different but it’s not the moment for this.

“We had fresh, high quality players on the bench. So we could do this (play a strong team). It was not about our opponent, it was about our rhythm.

“The most important stage in early part of season is to get rhythm. We needed to use every minute.”
